Apparently so, though turnout apparently ranged between 6 and 40 percent. To be fair, the school board races were more competitive, and maybe even about some of those "issues" we keep hearing about. While incumbents largely reigned supreme on the county Board of Supervisors, it'll be "fun" to see what a more conservative state legislature looks like. "Fun," assuming you consider laws to "require doctors to offer anesthesia to a fetus before an abortion; allow guns in parks, colleges and libraries; mandate drug screening for welfare recipients; and permit employers to fire workers for not speaking English" to be "fun."

It's been tried, but she is backed by the deep pockets of the developers' money machine. If you are not for paving over everything in sight, you are not going far in Fairfax County. The election is over, and the bulldozers are warming up right now,

They're apparently not counting "no-votes" at all, instead of as write-ins, because I cast such a non-vote in South Lakes. I was in too much of a hurry to come up with a good protest write-in against Duchess Hudgins.

Do Restonians really think centuries of single-party rule have resulted in a GOOD status quo here?

And I voted for Forrest, not because I approve of his policies but because I received a postcard from the Upright Citizens denouncing him as a homosexual. Fer cryeye, Howell was a slam-dunk. Why did she have to sink to such a scurrilous tactic?

Scubadiver-Howell didn't send that card. It was the Forrest campaign that did it, or their agents, and you fell for it and reacted exactly how they wanted you to. The address on the card is a parking lot in Lynchburg, and the group doesn't exist. Another thing, who exactly are the Democrats for Forrest? Nothing online about them at all, other than a tweet from the Forrest campaign. More BS from the Forrest campaign IMO.
